About

Dr. Caroline Ching Hsia Siew is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work is revolutionizing gastrointestinal surgery through the innovative application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. Her research focuses on enhancing surgical precision by leveraging ICG for real-time visualization of critical structures, including ureter identification, biliary mapping, lymph node assessment, and anastomotic perfusion evaluation. Dr. Siew’s most cited paper, "Indocyanine green dye and its application in gastrointestinal surgery: The future is bright green" (2023, 39 citations), serves as a seminal review that synthesizes these advances, highlighting ICG’s role in improving oncological margin adequacy and its potential when conjugated with tumor-specific antibodies like those targeting carcinoembryonic antigen. Her contributions are shaping a new standard in minimally invasive surgery, reducing complications and improving patient outcomes. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Siew is recognized as a leading voice in fluorescence-guided surgery, bridging the gap between cutting-edge imaging technology and clinical practice. Her work inspires a generation of researchers to explore the bright future of intraoperative visualization.
